Amazonian TV
Jeremy Wilson Mar 2015
What is this strange place?
A collage of fresh dreams
What is playing on the TV bolted to the tree?
Wonderful stimulation pushing me up the stream.

I've never seen a sky so blue.
I've never seen plants so green.
I've never seen a sunset so red.
Or a waterfall so silvery.

Am I in the Amazon?
It is where I've always wanted to go.
The TV conducts humanity without words.
Fused to a symphony of birds.

Should I swim up and down the river?
Or eat bananafruit so sweet
Am I alone in this green paradise?
My decadence catches a monkey eye

Sweeping winds as warm as a sauna
Did I just see a rainbow iguana?
And this TV set bolted to the tree
Harmony.

Who ever heard of this place?
They call it the lungs of the Earth
I am inspired! I leap like a cat!
When I'm not doing acrobats.

Swimming down the river
A swarm of fish, what a massage!
They swirl and flow
At the riverbank, I feel aglow

Never mind the hustle and bustle of the big city
I have frogs and parrots!
The Amazonian TV, a transmission of life!
Anytime the city gets too much, I will return to the Amazon!

The Amazonian Government unites love and goodwill
With fortitude and thrills!
I am like an astronaut, sampling vital organics
Should I call the TV "rainbow electronics"?

Don't Die (Suicide)
Jeremy Wilson Mar 2015
Do you breathe with your lungs?
Or with your throat
Maybe you have respitory troubles
Like a goat

Do you drink too much soda?
All that syrup and bubbles . . . .
Soda pop is not water you know
There could be trouble

Do you have trouble using the toilet?
Constipation will spoil it
Don't be lax about laxatives
Maybe your colon needs to give

Do you have ADD or ADHD?
That's like watching 4 television screens
How are you supposed to collect information?
This is why you may have complications

Do you eat too fast?
Your energy won't last
Eat hard bread that you must chew
Stop drinking Mountain Dew

Do you get enough sunlight?
Every minute matters
Sit outside when you can
Maybe you will chatter

In two years from today you could be strong
That's what's wrong
You want the future to arrive now
You have to wait, anyhow

What music do you like?
I find melodies to be wishful and sad
Dance beat music makes blood flow
Not that melodies are always bad

Broken hearts may never heal
There's still much you can do
Save somebody else from this fate you have
Be true

— The End —
